Chapter 285: The Marriage Is Approaching
After the kings entered Beijing, they attracted the attention of all directions in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Many well-informed high-ranking officials were busy sending them posts about feasts before and after the New Year's Festival. For several days, because of their attendance, the sound of excitement and laughter was endless. At this time, the clouds brought about by the rebellion case of Princess Anxing seemed to have completely dispersed. People seem to have completely forgotten this noble lord who brought countless gossips in the past, and they are not talking about the young gentlemen of the Yong'an County royal family, or the deep brotherhood between the king of Chu, the king of Sipu and the king of Xin'an County.
Of course, the upcoming marriage of King Sinanjun is also eye-catching. After all, the children of the marriageable royal clan who stayed in Chang'an were too rare, and this kind of big wedding scene was really rare. This wedding may be the same as the wedding of Princess Changning last year, and it will also become a grand festival for people to spend a year ago.
However, unlike ordinary new sons-in-law, the king of Xin'an does not seem to have thought about marriage and bride at all, but is busy with official business, and almost does not stop all day long. Don't say that Sinong Temple is just the affairs of Zongzheng Temple, and it has also increased a lot because of the kings' entry into Beijing, which makes him too busy. Even when I rested at night, I was quite unstable.
As Zong Zhengqing Shaoqing, he has almost logically replaced Zong Zhengqing. After King Jing tried the case of Princess Anxing, he silently returned to the palace to rest, and did not take the opportunity to invite merit and regain control of Zongzheng Temple. In the past two days, his youngest son Li Ge, who had been abolished as a concubine, also "unfortunately died", so he was even more sad and injured, and it is said that he was already bedridden.
The day after the sacrificial stove, Li Hui hurriedly went to the Liangyi Hall with a confession to see the saint. The sage opened it and took a look, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and he casually threw it into the brazier next to him: "Xuanqi, haven't you seen this fold?" Can you guess the intention of the king of Hejian to hand over the fold at such a time? The flames burst into flames, and in an instant they burned the fold to ashes.
"According to the guards he sent to deliver the excerpts, he was convicted of being delayed on the way." Li Hui replied. Of course, on what grounds the "delay" is explained, he hardly has to guess. What better excuse is there than the two accustomed "sick complaints" of Qin An and King Jing, the Duke of Wu?
"I contracted a cold halfway through and became seriously ill, so I had to stay at the post station for treatment. Now that his condition has eased a little, he will be able to leave after a few days of rest, and he will try to arrive in the capital before the Chinese New Year's Eve...... Oh, do you believe it or not? ”
"The child doesn't believe it." Li Hui replied without hesitation, "Whether others are credulous or not, the child feels that there are many doubts. The king of Hejian and the king of Yong'an are the generals who guard the frontier all the year round, and they will personally fight from time to time, and their bodies and bones will be extremely strong, and they will never fall ill easily on the way. What's more, the king of Yong'an County came from Shazhou, not only the distance is even farther away, but he is also more than 20 years old - he is still safe and sound, how can the king of Hejian County be seriously ill? ”
The distance between Shazhou and Chang'an is almost twice that between Shengzhou and Chang'an. The old and frail King of Yong'an County led a group of children and grandchildren to rush over at the speed of thousands of miles, still in good spirits, even going to various banquets and drinks every day, and there was no tiredness. And the king of Hejian was in the prime of life, not only was he still on the way, but he also fell ill and could not enter Beijing for a long time.
All this makes people want to ask: When did he set off from Shengzhou? Why the postponement? Can Shengzhou have emergency military affairs? Or was there something urgent that had to be dealt with? If you start as scheduled, then why do you have a good journey? So far, you haven't been to the capital? If you are not in a hurry, how can you easily fall ill on the way?
Under the suspicions, how many people will believe the accusation of this county king? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to infer that he has no king, or even a ghost?
"The boy thinks that he must be weak-hearted, right? Deliberately stopping on the way, it is to make judgments at any time based on the news from Beijing. For example, what is the outcome of An Xing's rebellion case, or whether An Xing is likely to confess to him. If he wasn't sure if it was safe to make the trip, he would never venture into Chang'an. ”
The so-called "big event" has been prepared for decades, and now that he is about to "succeed in hegemony", how can he be willing to risk his life? Maybe the king of Hejian County was indeed bold, otherwise he would not have chosen to rebel. But when he saw that the glory and wealth were close at hand, he was never willing to fold in Chang'an and everything would come to naught. With undeserved ambitions and desires, he is more timid than anyone else.
"So, if he has the guts to enter Beijing, should I kill him?" The saint raised an eyebrow and asked casually.
"This ...... The child doesn't know either. Li Hui frowned and replied, "...... It is not entirely certain that he is pretending to be seriously ill. Accidents can happen, maybe he is really sick? Moreover, the evidence is not sufficient at the moment, and the fact that his uncle gave him death at this time may lead to controversy. There will also be turmoil in the vicinity of Shengzhou, and it is unlikely that his son will take this opportunity to raise a flag of rebellion to take revenge. In the end, it is not good for the prestige of the uncle. ”
The saint put the imperial pen dipped in cinnabar on the pen wash, and seemed to smile: "That's right." I've been waiting for so many years, so why not wait a little longer? When Cheng Qing wins his trust and obtains evidence, it will not be too late to annihilate him in one fell swoop. The people near Shengzhou should also be replaced. It was indeed negligent for them to stay in one state and one place for so many years. It should have been transferred in four years, otherwise it would not have been able to raise such great ambitions. ”
"If you want to be transferred to the king of Hejian County, it is better to transfer the king of Yong'an County as well. Otherwise, it is inevitable to startle the snake. Li Hui said again, "The child has been looking at it these days, the king of Yong'an County is not only straightforward, but also quite scheming, and he will definitely understand his uncle's painstaking efforts." If it is to avoid suspicion, he may also offer to be reassigned. ”
“…… Do you think he's good? The saint looked directly at the young man in front of him.
"So far, he is indeed an elder who deserves respect. However, his children and grandchildren are somewhat mixed. "The two grandchildren left in the capital by the king of Yong'an are all well-known sons of the clan, and they have almost all been involved in any lawlessness except for those serious crimes. On the contrary, the eldest son of the king of Hejian County who stayed in the capital was the eldest son, who closed his door all day long, and never caused trouble, which made it extremely easy to ignore and forget. However, in recent years, he has become friendly with the king of Jiangxia County, who has just entered Beijing, and has also become one of the targets of supervision.
"Oh, yes, the good and the bad...... It is inevitable that every family will be like this, and it is not easy not to give birth to disasters......" The saint seemed to be touched, sighed lightly, and said to his nephew, "You will get married the day after tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of Zongzheng Temple for these two days." Go home and rest, recharge your energy, and get ready to marry the bride. Otherwise, if you go to greet your relatives with a tired face, what will it look like? ”
"......" Li Hui seemed quite surprised, he mentioned the matter at this time, paused, and replied, "The matter is urgent, and my uncle and grandfather are sick again......"
"What urgent business can Zongzheng Temple have? It's just a matter of the clan, and I'm not in a hurry to do it for a day or two. Moreover, in addition to the king of the river and ...... Besides, aren't all those who should have come yet? You don't have to worry about these official duties anymore, otherwise your grandfather and aunt will be in a hurry with me. ”
The King of Hejian and the ......? Li Hui noticed his pause, and still insisted: "The marriage has its own aunt and brother and sister-in-law to help prepare, and it has already been prepared, even if the child returns home, there is nothing to do...... When you come to Zongzheng Temple, you won't be idle, and you may feel better in your heart. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to have nothing to do? It's good to rest for a day or two to nourish your complexion. ”
"The child has always looked good, why bother to recuperate?"
"You're just relying on your youth." The saint was lazy and continued with his unenlightened nephew, "What? Don't you listen to my words? You kid, I don't know what kind of temperament it is. The good joy came, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, as if he didn't care. How? Is Toshi not the bride you want to marry? If you fall in love with a little lady from a certain family, I will immediately order you to be carried into the house and made a son, how about it? ”
“…… No, child...... The child wants to marry Du's ...... It's enough to marry Du's family......" King Xin'an was startled, and glanced at Wang Zixian, who was sorting out the documents not far away, without a trace, "I didn't fancy any other little lady...... Well, the boy will retire. "Marrying a Du family, he already feels guilty in his heart, and he has not been at peace for a long time. If two more are brought in, even if the prince can bear it, he can't bear it himself!
So, the king of Xin'an County took leave in advance and returned to the palace full of lights. Because of his busy schedule, he hadn't looked at his mansion for a long time. At this time, he had leisure and walked slowly in the snow alone, and he realized that the palace was very different. Except for his own dormitory, it seems that every corner has changed. And all the changes in one place made this mansion a little unfamiliar.
Under the eaves, in the corridors, and in the treetops, it seems that delicate red lanterns are burning everywhere, completely dispelling the darkness; Every tree and every bush of flowers are wrapped with lifelike silk leaves, lined like a night of spring breeze inadvertently, thousands of trees bloom, warm and harmonious.
The sky was dark, but the house was still as bright as day. Li Hui looked at the real and false flowers and trees in front of him in a daze, and suddenly looked back, and saw Wang Zixian walking with an oil-paper umbrella. I don't know when the falling snow fell on the umbrella, and he was graceful, like a fairy in the snow, fluttering as if he wanted to fly away.
Before he could react, Li Hui had already greeted him, grabbed his wrist tightly, and looked at him fixedly.
"How?" Wang Zixian's eyebrows and eyes were still handsome and gentle, and the gaze that looked at him was as affectionate as ever.
"I didn't even notice that the house had changed...... I don't know when it changed, I'm not used to it......"
"On these days, it was arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself. What, you don't like it? ”
"I don't like it." The previous palace belonged to the two of them, but now it seems that it no longer belongs to them.
Wang Zixian instantly understood the meaning of his words, and smiled faintly: "I don't like it either." After that, they all went down. These arrangements were a constant reminder of what was going to happen. He didn't want to see it, but he had to. If you deliberately avoid it, you will feel even more tormented.
"I'm getting married the day after tomorrow."
"I know, I'll be your maid."
"It's just a wedding, and you think it's you and me getting married. In the future, if we have the chance, we can make up another wedding. ”
“…… I understand...... Xuan Qi ...... I understand that we can't help ourselves. ”
Li Hui still couldn't control the uneasiness that suddenly welled up in his heart: "In addition, I can swear to the Heavenly God and Buddha that I will never hurt you again." "So, this wedding shouldn't have any impact on them, right? No, it certainly won't change them in any way! He will definitely keep everything else out of the county king's mansion! Whether it's the so-called royal palace maid, or a son from a good family!!
The prince smiled, took him into his arms, and kissed him on the lips: "I can also swear to the gods and Buddhas that we will stay together until decades later, when we die on the same day, the same month, and the same year." "Now, even if the person in his arms wants to let go, he will never do what he wants.
